Cold-start latency in Cloudflare Workers is minimized by reducing bundle size, removing heavy dependencies, and optimizing imports. Identify large packages in package.json and replace them with lightweight alternatives or lazy-load them only when needed.

Bundle-size optimization for edge involves auditing dependencies for bloat, tree-shaking unused code, and monitoring increases when adding new packages. Smaller bundles deploy faster and execute with lower CPU-time overhead on edge nodes.

Edge caching routes requests through Cloudflare's global network to serve cached data from locations near users. Configure cache headers, set TTLs, and identify which responses benefit from locality-based caching to reduce origin latency.

Yes. Workers can execute concurrent operations using Promise.all() instead of awaiting requests sequentially. Parallelization reduces total execution time by running independent KV reads, R2 operations, or API calls simultaneously.

Optimize KV and R2 access by batching operations where possible, caching frequently accessed values, and using appropriate consistency settings. Poor access patterns increase CPU time; structured queries and prefetching reduce round-trips to storage.

Heavy imports increase bundle size and parsing time during cold start. Each new dependency adds kilobytes and initialization overhead; removing unused imports and deferring non-critical loads until runtime significantly improves first-request performance.
